Brother in mind 😉 me (Germany, 65) also using the basha and the bivy , MTP. Ok, a different cooking set, but in the end of the surplus works great, better to carry a bit of more weight, but really good to trust in! Regards from Germany!
Have to agree. Ive got both ultralight gear and military gear, and I almost always end up bringing the surplus stuff. I like not having to worry about it getting damaged. Dont even notice the weight difference either.
Yep, because it’s military doesn’t mean it’s the best. BUT it’s tried & tested & is often more than adequate for the job. It’s definitely affordable & allows you to get out there
I'm an ultralight fan these days, but I still class my Dutch army hooped bivvy and British army arctic sleeping bag as two of my favourite/reliable/durable bits of kit when carrying more weight isn't an issue. The build quality of this stuff is unbeatable for the price. 👍
Still take my Basha to Dartmoor with me, it's never let me down through some horrible weather, cut off the stetcher straps to lighten it up a bit . Might still be heavier than other tarps but it's worth it for the peace of mind.
You cant beat army surplus for quality gear at a reasonable price 👍 i purchase alot of the clothing for outdoorr activities, i habe the army winter sleeping bag and it is awesome and takes up little room in a stuff sack.. Great informative video 👍
Nice vid, short, to the point and says everything you want to say! I love all my military surplus, as you say, it's heavy but it is extremely durable and affordable.
Hey Mate good to see you. None of my kit is considered "light". My "imported" Redcamp 10'x10' tarp is mid weight. Sleep system is a Klymate air mattress and USGI poncho & liner (ranger roll). Cook set, the BCB folding stove, USGI canteen cup and stove. Pack is an actual "made in Germany" Bundeswehr Jager Alpine. Almost 3 figures but I know it won't let me down. Take care of yourself buddy !
Great video, I see you was spoilt for choice on the food front 😉😂 and I do agree, you can’t beat the durability of the military surplus equipment. Atb, Brian.
So true. What most people don’t know is that this stuff is made to spec. Huge difference to stuff you buy in outdoor stores where everything is overpriced and falls apart after 10 days of actual use.
If u want to stay warmer u should strip down to your underwear when lying on your sleeping bag in your bivi bag then get into your sleeping bag. It’s you that warms your bag and if u can use a sleeping bag liner
I love my surplus kit. Can’t beat it for durability and value. If you are worried about weight just get fitter 😂👍🏾

Great video. I’m a big fan of surplus gear. Great value and quality. Hard to beat really.
Nice to see Bungees being used, a rare item with Bushcraft/Survival channels nowadays.

Front pocket is also the right size for 2 army mess tins with the folding hexi stove inside. 😉

Also there’s loads of health food u can make b4 u go out and just heat up in camp . Wet wipes are good for quick washing up
Nice to see you again. Ty for sharing your adventures. I’m going camping next week. Take care.

great video, got all of that gear apart from the burgan. good, robust stuff that works and I love noodles too
I'm glad you chose the noodles! Can't go far wrong with army surplus. Always good to see you on your adventures
How you doing? Missing your updates. Hope your problems were solved. Chin up. 👌
Nothing quite like a military surplus gear haul!

If u want to stay warmer u should strip down to your underwear when lying on your sleeping bag in your bivi bag then get into your sleeping bag. It’s you that warms your bag and if u can use a sleeping bag liner
Where do you buy all your gear from ?
Don't bash the basha.
